Fantastic book for year 5 English lessons
What a surprise this book was! br /To follow Hamilton Trust year 5 planning for a formal police report you need it and so I ordered it. It is now my favourite children's book ever! After two weeks they produced fantastic writing as it really caught all of our imaginations. Every time we looked we spotted something else that delighted us.The joy is in the detail.

Great to develop the imagination.
When I opened this book for the first time I felt myself wanting to ask question after question. This book opens up the mind of the reader and the illustration build a tale. br /This book is great to read with children of all ages. It opens up a wealth of questions which can only be explained through illustrations and imagination. It also is great to use as a stimulus for writing - children writing their own Tuesday or writing about next Tuesday. br /Children always come back to this book again and again and when you read it yourself you will see why.

Tuesday's Countdown: 7:58 p.m., 7:59 p.m., 8:00 p.m. Arise!
Tuesday is the most imaginative picture book that I have ever seen. It is a wordless fantasy of people, animals, and plants that allows you to supply your own story. As such, it will provide endless opportunities for you and your child to entertain one another. What really is going on? What does it mean? What will happen next Tuesday?pThe book is illustrated very much like a graphic novel (a series of comic books bound together in softcover form, if you haven't seen one) but without words. The book does have a few indicators of time and day of the week, that provide the minimal connection to reality needed to launch the story into space.pThe images here are very whimsical. Frogs fly on lily pads in formation like the Blue Angels, and create lots of unexpected fun. The book is most interesting when you see what happens on the second Tuesday. How about the third? You'll have to use your imagination for that one.pThis book deserves its Caldecott Medal for outstanding illustrations. In no other book that I can think of do the illustrations carry the story. The book uses vibrant colors, done in a low-key way. Stylistically, it is a take-off on the science fiction and super hero genres in pictures.pYou will be laughing out loud when you see what the frogs are up to. You will also enjoy the visual puns on textless pages.pWhere else can pictures tell the story? Have you ever engaged in pantomimes, shadow puppets, or charades with your child? If you haven't, this would be a good time to introduce those enjoyable games.pImagination can take you anywhere you want!

A book for all ages
I bought this book long before I had kids, because I loved the illustrations that seemed to jump off the page.brThe story is cute and imaginative and always makes me smile inside and out. Now that I have kids it has become one of their favorite "comfort books" for rainy days.

Tuesday is no ordinary day!
One Tuesday evening by the light of the rising moon, a turtle on a log watches the sky because the frog are going to fly!pSee the fish gaping out from the water, the lilies in the swamp the big fat frogs on their magic lily pads as the moon lightens the nighttime world.pBehold the birds of the air fly squawking away as the frogs dive swoop; behold the sleeping homes of humans way down below; see the lone midnight snacker in his kitchen not daring to look out his window.pSee, see - do you see dawn's early light the frogs hurrying home, dropping their magic carpets on the highway where policemen, police dogs detectives will ponder on a strange litter of lily pads. Do you know who's going to fly next Tuesday?pI love a David Wiesner book - his pictures are filled with dramatic perspectives improbabe, hilariously exciting, speculations! If you have not seen Tuesday I urge you to go find it.
